As spring approaches and planting plans solidify, a quiet shift is happening across the Corn Belt. In coffee shop conversations and agronomist calls, soybeans are gaining attention — not as a backup plan, but as a serious strategic move.
At Taranis, we’re hearing it from our advisors and retail partners, too. With profit margins tightening and volatility still in play, soybeans are emerging as a compelling choice for 2025. And it’s not just about market prices — it’s about input costs, sustainability programs and the potential for smarter, more efficient management.
Let’s break it down. Soybeans have always offered flexibility in rotations, but this year, they’re checking even more boxes:
Choosing soybeans is just one part of the strategy. Managing them with precision is what turns potential into performance — and that’s where Taranis comes in.
Our AI-powered, leaf-level crop intelligence gives advisors and growers unmatched insight throughout the season. From identifying emergence issues early, to capturing disease pressure before it spreads, to benchmarking performance across fields — Taranis delivers the play-by-play needed to make mid-season adjustments and end-of-season decisions with confidence.
If 2025 turns into the “year of the bean,” it won’t just be about planting more acres — it will be about planting smarter, managing better, and finishing stronger.
Whether you’re considering a shift toward soybeans or advising growers on what’s next, the opportunity is clear: lower costs, strong sustainability fit, and an open door for smarter agronomic moves. With the right tools in place, soybeans don’t just look like the safer bet — they might just be the most strategic one.
Cutting your technology spend when commodity prices are low may be a nail in the coffin for your crop’s yield potential and a forfeiture of the opportunity to save input costs with dialed-in, precise application.
A new strategic partnership between Taranis and Steward Link is easing the burden of program application and validating implemented conservation practices —unlocking significant revenue potential for growers.
This is the first blog in a series where we will discuss AI technology and how to apply it to Precision Agriculture methodologies and how, ultimately, AI can take your farm to a new level of efficiency and prosperity.
